Recently I presented on one of Microsoft’s latest technologies, Blazor, at our Southern Fried DNN User Group meeting. DNN, like many ASP.NET web applications, is looking for ways to get more modern and I believe that Razor could play a big role in DNN’s journey to .NET Core. In this meeting I presented an introductory level session on Blazor.

For the past few years I’ve been geeking out at Halloween creating IOT devices to scare kids in my neighborhood. This year I’ve built on some of past implementations and upped the ante a little bit. I’m leveraging Particle’s IOT platform and DNN to bring to you the 2018 IOT Clown.

Microsoft is serious about open source and it’s not just lip service. As an avid DNN user I’ve been around Microsoft technologies and open source for a long time now and the transition that’s recently taken place at Microsoft has been great to see. As I’ve heard a lot lately… this ain’t your daddy’s Microsoft!

Last week I attended Microsoft’s Build Conference in Seattle. I was helping at the .NET Open Source booth which promoted the .NET Foundation and all things open source.

I’ve recently been researching Splunk and have been impressed with its power, flexibility, and ease of use. One idea I had was to see how I could use Splunk with DNN. This blog will detail some of my initial findings with the application and potential use cases.

Particle is one of my favorite IOT platforms. It makes awesome microcontrollers, provides a nice IDE, has awesome documentation, and a great community. Recently I’ve been doing some testing with Splunk and it seems we have a match made in heaven on our hands.

The Central High School Eagles of Pageland, South Carolina have a rich tradition and history of success. Jason Fararooei and I recently created another video for the Eagles. This video is a short, pre-season, you need to come to the games to get more, hype video for the team.

We continue to help local farmers with nuisance hog problems and recently we’ve been getting these hogs right where we want them with the help of Big & J’s Hog Attractants! If you are hunting hogs and need something to help coax hogs into a certain area, Big & J’s Hogs Hammer It and Pigs Dig It are good recommendations.
